Terry's Rubber Rollers
& Wheels

This Site was hacked into a couple years ago.
I
have most of it back,
but there are still a few problems.

If you find a problem on this site, please let
me know where.

============================================

Before
we get too serious about roller repair, it appears there have been a
few
email problems. Its not exactally known where or with whom
the
problem originates, but several customers have made the same comments
with
their own emails. I get many emails, a few I don't, most
people
get mine and a few don't. Some emails get returned as
undeliverable.
I just want it known, I am still in business, and
plan
to be for a long time. My address is on the order form
which
can be downloaded by clicking on the link below. All I can say is just keep trying to
email
me. Sorry for any inconvience.

=================================================

<>Speaking from very proud parents,
If you have time,
take a second and check out my son on TV.

Do you have a Reel to Reel tape recorder,
record
player, 8 track player, cassette deck, or just need a roller rebuilt,
that
may be sitting in the back of a closet, or stashed away, because the
pinch
roller or idler wheel is dried out, hard, cracked or ruined from
improper
chemical cleaning?

Send me your old roller, I will remove all
old rubber and replace
it with new. It will be perfectly flat, or rounded depending
on
your style of roller. It will be perfectly round. No
thumping,
no wobbling, no humming, no more tape slippage. When I’m
done, it will work as good as new.

Below (or above left) you will find links
that will allow
you to download the order
form as either a MS Word file or in PDF format

(which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).

The order form has a few questions about
your roller, along with
additional shipping information.

Order form and payment must accompany the
roller. If you are sending
more than one roller, and the

rollers are different sizes, please
attach one form per
roller..

I am not responsible for rollers shipped
without the order form .

Most pinch rollers and idlers for "Home Units"
because they are smaller in size (most 1/2 inch tape and smaller)
are $35.00 each, plus a $5.00
Total
shipping and handling in the states.

That $5.00will cover 1 to
4 rollers and I
will ship them back to you U.S.P.S. with
$50 insurance.

( click insurance for more options)

Since most "Pro Audio"
rollers are usually physically
larger
than Home rollers, there for additional charges may apply. Prices are determined by the physical size of the
roller,
not because its a Pro or Home Unit.

If in doubt of the charge for your roller,
email me.

For other shipping options and ideas, click
the link below.

The roller you send me for rebuilding will be
the one you get back,
I never swap rollers.

There for it will fit your machine exactually
as before, you don't
have to worry about getting a roller with a worn out bushing.

Number 3 is probably my favorite as
it has funny gag video's,
music by year, music by group/artist, music video clips

Games, and more.

Start the
songs playing and then
do something else on your computer, let it play in the
background.

What to
use for cleaning pinch
rollers and other rubber items
This is for new rubber and will not fix old hard or gooey rubber.

Many people ask me what to clean their pinch
rollers with. I
wish I had a good super secret formula I used and could
tell you
about, but I don't. I see daily and hear what chemicals do
to
rubber, and it isn't good. Sooner or later the rubber will be
ruined.
Some types of rubber dry out, crack, and get hard, while others
get
soft and gooey.

My advise and its only my opinion, and
I know this doesn't
clean as good as some high octaine chemicals, but I suggest just
plain
old dish soap and water, then rinse good.
Sorry thats about it.

Turn around time from
Oct. thru May
(Winter months) is usually 3 to 6 days from time of receipt.
Due
to a few vacations, at times, turn around times may be 2 weeks or more
from
June thru Oct. I suggest emailing me before sending your
rollers. Generally speaking ,
business
will not be interrupted.

The rollers arrived
yesterday. They look great.
I installed one on the Roland tonight and adjusted the roller tension
for
optimal stability. Terry...I have never heard a tape echo sound so
"in-tune"
in my life. The difference is phenominal. I can't thank you enough for
your
great service and great work. The owner of this unit will be blown
away!
Once again Terry, thanks so much for the great work and service. I hope
to
have the opportunity to do business in the future. There are a lot of
Space
Echo's and Echoplexes out there that are crying for new pinch rollers.
The
sound of their cry is always warbly and out of tune! :

Hi Terry,

I was finally able to get some
time to install one set of rollers, and that set is dimensionally
perfect, both in OD, roundness and eccentricity. Can't even tell when
they are rotating unless you look carefully. W&F numbers are
the best they have/can be on this 3014, and tape tracking shows no
wobble or skew. Thank you very much!!

I service Nakamichi, Revox and the 3014 cassette decks. I've used you for all my Revox and now Tandberg decks, and whenever I need a Nak roller (which is not very often), and always have gotten excellent results. I recommend you to anyone that asks. Perry
